Recalled Hydroxycut Products

It's the health story of the year: in early May, the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pulled Hydroxycut products from shelves and informed consumers they should stop using the weight-loss products immediately. Why are Hydroxycut products being recalled? Here's the information you need about Hydroxycut side effect dangers and the FDA recall.

Manufacturer has Iovate put out a multitude of drugs under the brand name "Hydroxycut" for years. Touting Hydroxycut products' supposed weight loss, fat loss, and energy boosting effects, it has made a name for itself through aggressive promotion on the Internet and television and has been largely successful. Last year alone, Hydroxycut grossed over $7 million for Iovate within the United States and earned many more millions the world over.

There's just one problem with Hydroxycut products: they've now been linked to serious medical conditions including 23 cases of liver failure requiring transplantation and other medical problems like seizures, cardiovascular events, and hemochromatosis. Recalled Hydroxycut products to date include Hardcore and Max packets, regular and caffeine-free drink packets, rapid-release caplets in regular and caffeine-free, and liquid capsules that were manufactured and sold under the names Hydroxycut 24, Natural, Carb Control, Max, Hardcore, and Max Aqua Shed. However, Hydroxycut Cleanse and Hydroxycut Hoodia products have not been pulled to date.

Though the FDA has instructed consumers to stop using Hydroxycut and return the unused portion to the retailer where they bought the drug, those who have been injured by Hydroxycut do have legal options. They may file a civil case demanding compensation for the costs of care associated with their injury and relating to pain and suffering, ongoing treatment, and other expenses. However, it is recommended that those who wish to file a Hydroxycut lawsuit first arm themselves with competent and reputable legal assistance.
